Risks and Benefits of Medical Use of Marijuana

Under Washington state law, the medical use of marijuana is permissible for some patients with terminal or debilitating medical conditions. The law regulating this (RCW 69.51A) requires health care professionals to advise patients about the risks and benefits of the medical use of marijuana before authorizing them to engage in the medical use of marijuana.

The medical and scientific evidence supporting the medical use of marijuana remains controversial in the medical community. Not all health care providers believe that marijuana is safe or effective for medical use, and some providers feel that it is a dangerous drug.

According to the Washington state law, the medical use of marijuana may benefit patients diagnosed with the following medical conditions: cancer, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), multiple sclerosis, epilepsy or other seizure or spasticity disorders; some types of intractable pain; glaucoma, either acute or chronic; Crohn's disease; hepatitis C with ult in debilitating nausea or intractable pain; or diseases, including anorexia, which result in nausea, vomiting, wasting, appetite loss, cramping, seizures, muscle spasms, or spasticity.

Some of the risks of medical use of marijuana may include possible long-term effects on the brain in the areas of memory, coordination and cognition; impairment of the ability to drive or operate heavy machinery; and physical or psychological dependence. Smoking marijuana may cause respiratory damage and possibly lung cancer.

Becoming a Medical Marijuana Patient in Washington

Washington

• According to Washington State Department of Health, people who qualify under the law may posses a 60-day supply of marijuana as long as they have a written recommendation from their doctor.44 To qualify, you must:

1. Be a patient of a doctor licensed (not just practicing) in Washington.
2. Have been advised of the risks and benefits of using marijuana medically.
3. Be a resident of Washington when diagnosed.
4. Be able to prove your identity with a Washington driver's license or ID card.
5. Have a formal statement from your doctor or a copy of medical records that shows a diagnosis of a condition that is approved under Washington law.45

Becoming a Patient in Washington

Summary

Washington law provides a legal defense for the medical use and cultivation of limited amounts of marijuana. A patient with a recommendation from a doctor may use this defense. Patients with recommendations should be cautious when medicating because police may still confiscate marijuana, arrest patients or providers, and charge patients and providers with crimes for actions associated with medical use. A patient can still be convicted of a misdemeanor for using marijuana in public. A patient may designate a provider to assist them in cultivating marijuana for medical purposes.

What's Allowed

Up to twenty-four ounces of usable marijuana and fifteen plants are allowed between a patient and his or her designated provider for each sixty-day period. A patient may exceed these limits only if she or he can show medical need; if you need to go over with these limits, you must discuss it with your doctor in order to protect yourself.

Eligible Conditions

Patients with the following conditions with a recommendation from a doctor may use the medical use defense:

• Cancer
• HIV
• multiple sclerosis
• epilepsy and other seizure disorders
• spasticity disorders

When unrelieved by standard treatments or medications, these conditions or their symptoms may also be treated with marijuana:

• intractable pain (severe pain that is not easily dealt with)
• glaucoma
• Crohn's disease
• Hepatitis C
• anorexia (lack of appetite)
• other diseases which result in nausea, vomiting, wasting, appetite loss, cramping, seizures, muscle spasms, or spasticity

The Washington state medical quality assurance commission may also approve additional diseases and conditions for treatment with marijuana.

Recommendation

A doctor's recommendation is required for a patient to be protected by the Washington law; a copy of your medical records may not be used instead of a recommendation. A doctor licensed in Washington must write your recommendation on tamper-resistant paper. Your recommendation must also include an original signature by your doctor, the date, and a statement that says in your doctor's professional opinion, the potential benefits of the medical use of marijuana would likely outweigh the health risks in your case.
The language your doctor uses is important. Your doctor's recommendation must say that the benefits of using medical marijuana would likely outweigh the risks. Courts have refused to acknowledge as valid recommendations that said that the potential benefits "may" outweigh the health risks. (State v. Shepherd) Be sure that your doctor's recommendation contains the precise wording. We recommend using the Washington State Medical Association's form.

Doctor

A doctor issuing a recommendation must be licensed in Washington. The following healthcare providers may issue a medical marijuana recommendation:

• medical doctors (MDs)
• physician assistants (PAs)
• osteopathic physicians (DOs)
• osteopathic physician assistants (OA)
• naturopathic physicians (ND)
• advanced registered nurse practitioners (ARNPs)

Access/ Designated Providers/ Dispensaries

To acquire your medicine, you can grow marijuana yourself or designate a provider to grow medical marijuana for you. Your designated provider must be responsible for your housing, health, or care and you must designate in writing that this person will perform the duties of a provider. A designated provider can only be a provider for one patient at any one time and may not consume your medicine.
It is not legal to buy or sell medical marijuana in Washington. Dispensaries are not protected in Washington, even if they operate collectively and on a not-for-profit basis.

Consumption

It is not legal to use or display medical marijuana in a place which is open to the view of the general public. Be discreet. If possible, only medicate at home and in a place that cannot easily be seen from a public street.

Age Limits

A person under the age of 18 may become a patient. The same restrictions that apply to adults apply to minor patients; e.g. do not medicate in public, do not possess more than 24 ounces and 15 plants. Producing, acquiring, and deciding the dosage and frequency of use is the responsibility of the parent or legal guardian of any patient under 18.

Confidentiality

The state of Washington does not keep a registry of medical marijuana patients. Also, the doctor-patient privilege protects against the disclosure of sensitive information such as whether an individual has been recommended marijuana for medical use.

Housing

The law says nothing explicit about housing rights for patients or designated providers. However, the Washington medical marijuana law does say that if you meet the requirements of the law, then you "shall not be penalized in any manner, or denied any right or privilege, for such actions."
We believe this means that, under state law, a qualifying patient or caregiver may not lose their right to housing as a result of legally using or providing medical marijuana. Please remember, though, that while our belief that you are protected is based on our reading of the statute and case law, there is no existing Washington State case law that specifically addresses the (non-federally-funded) housing rights of patients.
If you live in housing funded by the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Washington law will not protect you and you may be subject to eviction, as medical marijuana is not protected under federal law.

Employment

Unfortunately, Washington law does not offer explicit employment protections for patients. The law also does not require your employer to accommodate your use of marijuana in the workplace.

Insurance

Washington's medical marijuana law specifically does not require a health insurance provider to reimbursement patients for their medicine.

Reciprocity

Doctor recommendations, ID cards, and other documentation from other states do not provide legal protection in Washington. If you are not a resident of Washington, and you do not have a recommendation from a Washington healthcare provider, you are not considered a medical marijuana patient and may face criminal charges for possession, transportation, or cultivation.

MARIJUANA ADDICTION SYMPTOMS-be on the lookout to protect yourself

Marijuana Addiction Symptoms

Think of medical marijuana like you would any controlled substance that is administered via prescription from a medical doctor: it can be both mentally and physically addictive. Because the main chemical in marijuana, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), has psychoactive properties and affects the mood, pleasure and temperament sections of the brain, and because the most common method of delivery is through the inhalation of smoke or vapors, habitual usage of marijuana can cause a person to become mentally addicted or physically addicted (oral fixation).

Who Can Become Addicted to Marijuana?

Any person who habitually uses marijuana on a regular basis is subject to addiction. While most people won't experience an intense craving to smoke marijuana, but will use the medication in doses, it's generally not as addictive as other prescribed drugs like painkillers or habit-forming sleep aids. However, a person who already is prone to chemical dependency, such as a smoker or an alcoholic, can also become more easily addicted to using marijuana. More than 100,000 people enter into rehabilitation facilities, such as Narconon rehab,in the US annual citing marijuana as the primary drug of abuse that they are seeking treatment for.

Is an Addiction to Marijuana Treatable?

Like any drug addiction, there are many different treatment methods that are available for those who have become mentally or physically dependent upon THC. Programs available for addiction treatment in the US include: outpatient rehab centers, sober living homes, inpatient rehab centers, anonymous programs, 12 step programs and drug addiction counseling.

Marijuana Addiction Symptoms

There are some documented addiction symptoms to marijuana. Most often, the addiction rates tend to be the highest in teens, particularly those who suffer from already existing antisocial tendencies, where abusing marijuana to seek mental relief can cause them to become mentally and physically dependent upon it. Marijuana is also orally addictive, as the process for using it most commonly is by smoking it and inhaling the fumes, which can create an oral and physical addiction over time. Development of a tolerance to the drug from prolonged usage also contributes to addiction, as the user must use more and more of the drug each time to experience the same level of euphoria. Persons with a history of anger, mood, mental or depressive disorders have a much higher likelihood of becoming addicted to marijuana.

Common Marijuana Addiction Symptoms:

• The need to find escape from using the drug
• Irritability when not using the drug
• Marijuana becomes the focal point of daily life
• Lack of appetite when not on the drug
• Nervousness, anxiety and mood swings when not on the drug
• Depression from lack of having access to the drug
• Insomnia unless high on the drug
• Seeking mental escape from using a controlled substance
• Habitually abusing marijuana

Myths and Facts about Medical Marijuana

Q: How many states have enacted medical marijuana laws since 1996?
A: Fifteen states and the District of Columbia — Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington. Complete summaries of each of these state laws may be foundhere. In 1996, Arizona voters approved a medical marijuana law, but the measure never took effect. District of Columbia voters also approved an initiative in 1998 with 69 percent of the vote. Maryland’s legislature passed a medical marijuana affirmative defense law in 2003. This law requires the court to consider a defendant’s use of medical marijuana to be a mitigating factor in marijuana-related state prosecution.

Q: Does the May 14, 2001 Supreme Court Ruling (U.S. v. Oakland Cannabis Buyers’ Cooperative) affect these laws?
A: No. The legal use of medical marijuana by patients in these states is not challenged by this decision. The Court’s decision applies only to the manufacture and distribution of marijuana under federal law. The question of whether patients may legally use marijuana in states where such use is permitted was not at issue in this case.

Q: May physicians legally prescribe marijuana?
A: No. Although a handful of states have legislation authorizing doctors to prescribe marijuana (These laws were all passed in the late 1970s and early 1980s in expectation that the federal government would eventually reschedule marijuana.), doctors in these states may not legally do so without violating federal law. Federal policy dictates that physician who prescribes marijuana or other Schedule I drugs to a patient may be stripped of his or her federal license to prescribe drugs and prosecuted. In addition, physicians will not prescribe marijuana because there are no legal state supply sources from which a patient could attain the drug.

Q: May physicians legally recommend marijuana therapy to a patient?
A: Yes. On September 7, 2000, U.S. District Judge William Alsup ruled inConant v. McCaffrey that federal authorities may not sanction doctors who recommend marijuana to patients.

Q: May a state board of health legally distribute medical marijuana?
A: Yes, however the marijuana must come from the federal National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). Between 1978 and 1986, NIDA distributed medical marijuana to six state research programs. NIDA presently dispenses marijuana for a San Mateo County, California medical research program and a California state program.

Q: May a state authorize medical marijuana clinical trials without federal approval?
A: No. All medical marijuana research must meet NIDA approval and receive funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Q: May a legislature reschedule marijuana for medical purposes under state law?
A: Yes, although this is largely a symbolic gesture. Rescheduling marijuana statewide does not protect patients from criminal prosecution under federal law or allow doctors in that state to legally prescribe the drug.

Q. Is there federal legislation pending to legalize marijuana as a medicine?
A: For the latest on state and federal medical marijuana legislation, visit NORML’s Take Action center.
